2:1  If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of  love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any deep-feelings and compassions,
2:2  fill-up my joy, which is that you be thinking the same thing, having the same love, united-in-spirit, thinking the one thing,
2:3  doing nothing based-on selfish-interest nor based on conceit, but with humble-mindedness regarding one another as surpassing yourselves;
2:4  not each looking-out-for your own things, but also each the things of others.
2:5  Be thinking this in you, which also was in Christ Jesus—
2:6  Who, while being in the form of God, did not regard the being equal with God a thing-to-be-grasped,
2:7  but emptied Himself, having taken the form of a slave, having come in the likeness of humans. And having been found as a man in outward-appearance,
2:8  He humbled Himself, having become obedient to the point of death— and a death of a cross!
2:9  Therefore God also highly-exalted Him, and granted Him the name above every name
2:10  in-order-that every knee should bow at the name of Jesus— of heavenly ones and earthly ones and ones under-the-earth—
2:11  and every tongue should confess-out that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:12  So then my beloved, just as you always obeyed— not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence— be working-out your salvation with fear and trembling.
2:13  For God is the One working in you both the wanting and the working, for His good-pleasure.
2:14  Be doing all things without grumblings and arguments
2:15  in-order-that you may become blameless and innocent, children of God without-blemish amidst a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you are shining as lights in the world,
2:16  holding-out the word of life— for a boast for me in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain!
2:17  But if I even am being poured-out upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am rejoicing [over it], and rejoicing-with you all.
2:18  And you also be rejoicing the same way, and be rejoicing-with me.
2:19  Now I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon in order that I also may be cheered, having come-to-know the things concerning you.
2:20  For I have no one likeminded who will genuinely be concerned-about the things concerning you.
2:21  For the ones all are seeking their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.
2:22  But you know his approvedness, because he served with me for the good-news as a child with a father.
2:23  So indeed I am hoping to send this one at-once, whenever I see the things with-respect-to me.
2:24  And I am confident in the Lord that I myself also will come soon.
2:25  But I regarded it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus— my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your delegate and minister of my need—
2:26  because he was yearning-for you all, and was being distressed because you heard that he was sick.
2:27  For indeed he was sick nearly to death. But God had-mercy-on him— and not him only, but also me, in order that I should not have grief upon grief.
2:28  Therefore I sent him more-eagerly, in order that having seen him again you may rejoice, and I may be less-grieved.
2:29  So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and be holding such ones precious,
2:30  because he drew-near to the point of death for the sake of the work of Christ— having risked his life in order that he might fill-up your lack of service to me.
